Shelby is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor & Certified Yoga Instructor
My Approach To Treatment
Holistic therapy is an integrative approach to healing that views the mind, body, and spirit as deeply interconnected. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, it considers the whole person — emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual well-being — to support true, lasting change.
​
How is Holistic Therapy different from
Traditional Therapy?
Holistic therapy often blends traditional talk therapy techniques with complementary practices such as mindfulness, somatic work, meditation, breathwork, energy healing, nutrition awareness, and creative expression. The goal is to help individuals reconnect with themselves on a deeper level, uncover the root causes of their struggles, and build a balanced, resilient life aligned with their authentic self.
My approach integrates holistic and somatic therapy through a spiritual approach, helping clients use their strengths to access deeper layers of the subconscious. By listening to the body and honoring the whole self — mind, body, and spirit — we uncover and heal old patterns, allowing for lasting transformation and greater
self-alignment.

What is Somatic Therapy?
The word “somatic” comes from the Greek word “soma,” meaning the body. Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing that recognizes that emotions, memories, and traumas are not just stored in the mind — they are also held in the body.
In a therapeutic setting, somatic therapy helps you reconnect with your body’s sensations and movement as a way to listen and identify to our bodies emotional pain. Instead of only talking about your experiences, we also pay attention to how your body feels — noticing things like tension, tightness, restlessness, or even a sense of calm. These sensations can hold important clues to deeper emotions, past experiences, and unmet needs.
